How low exactly are you looking to go Blackout?
What is you guys ride height and what size tires?
Just out of curiousity - have any one looked up atomic on PT.net. He may not be as low as those of us looking into this conversion, but i read a thread where he was at 30" ground to fender on stock (i think) silverado wheels. I believe just putting them on testing it out. I am not sure i can even go that low w/o ripping something off the front. http://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...coilover-conversion-518118/page5/#post5109642
(this could be wrong info as i see he just posted, but all the reading may have my info jumbled on who it was)
cant wait to see this conversion done.
Yea but whats your ride height, are you as low in the front as we are? I really want this to happen, but I just dont think 1" of up travel is enough to keep from bottoming out on every bump in the road
I'd have to remeasure but im on 305/35/24 and everything rubs... not looking to go any lowerHow low exactly are you looking to go Blackout?

I thought the same thing... until I read this belowI deff think us that are slammed would need the stud mount to gain the travel and for it to work. That's my thinking....any thoughts?
Well, this hadn't occured to me, so now I think it might be totally feasibleDon't forget about the effect that the control arms serve in relation to the shock...they're essentially levers that pivot from where they connect at the frame. This means that 1" of shock travel is not 1" of travel at your tire/rim/hub. When I swapped out my t-bar lowering keys I meant to see what the travel is at the wheel hub when there's 1" of travel at the shock. Unfortunately, I just plain forgot. If I can get to this soon I'll post the results, but don't you be holdin' your breath. Anybody want to beat me to this?
This is the same Atomic on here. You talking to him lol. My biggest concern is being able to adjust ride height independent of spring preload. Am i missing something? I wanna go low as well but it seems we don't have enough room for the shock with the kit.
...
Has anyone else measured their height as Atomic said, center to fender? Interested in seeing ya'lls height.
Damn man, my tires are 33"I'm running 27" tall tires so in the front I'm at 30.5" from fender to ground.

Sitting on the slight incline on my driveway I measure 17.75" from center of wheel hub to fender. On flat ground I think it's about 17.5. I'm running 27" tall tires so in the front I'm at 30.5" from fender to ground.
